Likewise, while some embodiments may allow a user to hold and rotate the head (e.g., to adjust the beam provided by the flashlight), the outer surface of the head in the embodiments is instead functional. Therefore, a modified flashlight is needed to overcome one or more of the disadvantages discussed above. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to further embodiments described herein, various structures are advantageously provided for use in a variety of flashlight designs. For example, in one embodiment, a hole can be provided in the body of the flashlight to facilitate attachment of the flashlight to various structures. In another embodiment, a recess may be provided on the outer surface of the flashlight head to facilitate attachment of the appropriate sign or structure to the flashlight in an efficient manner that does not interfere with the user's operation of the flashlight. These and other features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the description of the appended claims appended claims [Embodiment] Similar element numbers in different figures represent the same or similar elements. The present invention is intended to be illustrative only and not to limit the invention, and FIGS. 1-12 illustrate a flashlight (10) in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 112, the flashlight (10) includes a body 110, a head 15 〇, and a tail cap 190. The body 11 〇, the head 15 〇, and the tail cover 19 可 may be implemented using any material suitable for the flashlight, the material comprising 'e.g., metal, polymer, rubber, and/or other suitable material. I3S655.doc 201009236 The body 110 can be implemented as a generally elongate structure that can be provided as a single component (e.g., from a single piece of metal or other suitable material) or as multiple components. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 10, the body 110 includes a cavity 112 that houses a battery 114 (eg, a conventional AA battery) to provide power to a suitable circuit 116 that is coupled to a light source 118. (eg, a light bulb, a light emitting diode (LED), or other suitable light source) and one lens assembly 119 that is secured in the head 150 (eg, it can be implemented to provide total internal reflection of light from the light source 118) ) Display together. As also shown in Fig. 10, the tail cap 19 can be implemented as a switch that is fixed to the body 110. In this regard, the tail cap 190 can be coupled to the appropriate circuitry 192 in the body 11A to selectively open and close the flashlight 1 〇〇 and/or to be adjusted by the flashlight 1 in response to user manipulation of the tail cap 190. The brightness of the light provided. For example, in one embodiment, the tail cover 190 can be selectively depressed by the user in the direction of arrow i 94 to operate the flashlight 丨〇〇. As shown in Figures 1-12, three holes (e.g., hole cuts, voids, cavities, or other types of holes) U0A-C are provided in the body 11''. In this regard, the apertures 120A (:// the shafts 132A-C extend through the body 11A. The apertures 12〇AC are illustrated as having a generally elongate cross section. It is also contemplated to have different cross-sectional shapes (eg, 'rectangular, square Other types of holes, round %, elliptical, or other shapes. Further, although three holes 120A-C' are shown in Figure W2, any desired number of holes may be used in other embodiments (eg, 'single or The inclusion of the holes 12() A_C in the body 110 causes the portions of the body (4) to be offset from each other around the holes 12GA-C. For example, as shown in Figure 9 and the cross-sectional view of the 138655.doc 201009236 Each of the 12 turns AC causes the corresponding bridges 130A-C of the body 11〇 to separate from the central portion 14〇 of the body 11〇. The holes 12〇ac are shown to be substantially equidistantly spaced around the central portion 140. However, it is also contemplated that the apertures 120A-C are asymmetrically positioned. Because the apertures 120A-C extend through the body 11A, external objects can be selectively inserted into the apertures 120A-C for along the axes 132A, 132B, and 132. (: protruding the body 110. For example, in an embodiment, the flashlight One can be secured to another structure (eg, a weapon, a vehicle's building, a user's body, or other object or structure) by insertion into one or more of the holes 120A-C. In another embodiment, a cord, string, tether, or other suitable flexible construct can be inserted into one or more of the apertures 〇Ac and wound around one or more bridges 130A-C And/or a central portion 140 to secure the flashlight 100 to the structure (e.g., to suspend the flashlight 100 from the neck of the user by a tightening cable). It should be understood that when appropriate in various applications, 'any other The desired object can be inserted through the apertures 120A-C. The bridges 130A-C are generally parallel to each other and extend longitudinally along the body n. Further, the inner surfaces 134A-C, the central portion 140 of the bridges 130A-C The outer surfaces 144A-C, and portions of the outer surfaces 136A-C of the bridges 130A-C are generally planar and parallel to each other. Likewise, the outer portions 146A-C of the central portion 14 are substantially planar. The various planar and parallel surface configurations provide a load bearing surface to aid the hand. The flashlight 1 is attached to another structure, as previously described herein. Other shapes and surface configurations are also contemplated. For example, in one embodiment, the bridges 130A-C, the inner surface 134A-C, the outer surface 136A-C, outer surface 138655.doc 201009236 144A-C, and/or outer surface 146A_C may be contoured to show curved (eg, non-planar) shapes, which may be parallel or non-parallel to each other, eg, FIG. An embodiment of the flashlight 17 is illustrated in which the bridge i73〇a_b exhibits a generally curved shape. Referring again to Figures 1-12, the recess 160 is provided on the outer surface of the head 15〇. By comparing Figures 1, 3, 5 and 6, it will be apparent that the recess 16A exhibits a generally circular shape (see, for example, the top plan view of Figure 3) that is partially curved about one of the heads 150 (see, for example, Figure 1) , 5 and 6). When viewing the figures, it will be appreciated that the inner surface 162 of the recess 160 is generally wavy. In other embodiments, the recess 16 can be implemented using other shapes (e.g., rectangular, square, circular, elliptical, or other shapes). The recess 160 is adapted to receive any suitable structure that the user or manufacturer desires to secure to the head 150. For example, in one embodiment, the recess 160 can be configured to receive a plate 1 〇2. As shown in Figure ,, the plate i 〇 2 can be adapted to be inserted into the recess 160. In this regard, the back surface 1〇4 of the panel 1〇2 can be implemented to have a contour substantially conforming to the contour shape corresponding to the inner surface 162 of the recess 160. Thus, the back side 1 〇 4 of the panel 102 can contact the inner surface 162 of the recess 16 ’ so that substantially the entire back side 1 〇 4 of the board 102 contacts the recess! Within 6 inches, surface 162. Figure 12 illustrates the flashlight 100 after the board 102 has been inserted into the recess 160. In various embodiments, the back side i4 of the panel 1 2 can be secured or fastened to the inner surface 162 of the recess 160 using any suitable product such as, for example, a glue, glue, or other product. In one embodiment, the profile shape conforming to the pre-described use of the back surface 104 and the inner surface 162 may be 138655.doc 201009236 to help secure the panel 1〇2 to the head 15〇. In this regard, it will be appreciated that the contoured shape of the back surface 104 conforming to the inner surface 162 allows the panel 1〇2 to effectively partially cover the head portion 150. Thus, this configuration provides for a substantially planar condition compared to the surfaces. More reliable adhesion. In one embodiment, the plate 102 exhibits a depth approximately equal to the depth of the recess (e.g., about 1 mm). Thus, after being inserted into the recess 丨6〇, the plate 102 can be placed substantially flush with the outer surface of the head 15〇. Advantageously, this embodiment may allow the panel 102 to be placed in the recess 160 without disturbing the user's operation of the flashlight 100. It will be appreciated that the recess 16" and the plate 102 (or other suitable structure) can be implemented using any desired depth. As shown in Figures 11 and 12, the 'plate 102' may include text, symbols, and/or other suitable indicia on its upper surface 1〇6, which are still visible when the plate 1〇2 is inserted into the recess 16〇 . Advantageously, the use of recesses 16 and plates allows the manufacturer or user to attach any desired type of panel 102 as desired in various applications. It is contemplated that other structures (e.g., hooks, loops, or other suitable constructs) can be inserted into the recess 160 to help secure the structures to the head 150. Similar to the plate 1〇2, the other structures can be implemented with a complementary back surface 'which conforms to the corresponding contour shape along the inner surface 162 of the recess 16〇. Thus, a variety of different useful features can be selectively attached to the flashlight 100 by suitable attachment of the structures to the recess i 60 of the flashlight 1 . Figures 13-1 7 illustrate a flashlight with additional features 138655.doc 201009236 in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention. For example, Figure 13 illustrates a flashlight 1300 that includes the features of flashlight 100 and includes a clip 13 〇2. In one embodiment, the clip Η 2 can be secured to the flashlight 1300 via a suitable ring 13 〇 4 positioned between the body 13 1 〇 and the head 1350. Advantageously, the clip 13〇2 can be used to secure the flashlight 13 00 to the user's clothing or other suitable structure. Figure 14 illustrates a flashlight 14A similar to a flashlight, but having four apertures 1420A-D spaced generally equidistantly about a central portion 1440. Thus, apertures 1420A-B and D are shown extending through a body 141 (which is coupled to a head 1450) and apertures 1420C (not shown) are present on opposite sides of flashlight 1400. The apertures 142A-B and d are shown extending along the axis, and it will be appreciated that the aperture 1420C can extend along its own corresponding axis 1432C (not shown). Figures 15 and 16 illustrate flashlights 1500 and 16A, which are respectively elongated embodiments of flashlights 100 and 1400. In one embodiment, the flashlights 15A and 1600 can be provided with suitable cavities (e.g., similar to the cavity 112 previously discussed)' that are adapted to accommodate two aa batteries connected in series. As shown in Figure 15, the flashlight 15A includes two sets of holes that can be implemented in the manner described above for the holes 120A-C. In this regard, apertures 1520A-B and 1520D-E are shown extending along body 1532A-B and 1532D-E through body m〇 (which is coupled to a head 1550), and apertures 1520C and 1 520F (not shown) are presented On the opposite side of the flashlight 丨5〇〇 and extending along its own corresponding axes 1532C and 1532F (not shown).
